As rapidly as possible, convert to solar and wind and geothermal electric power, AND efficiency in the use of it, including transportation. We have for about a century been using the petroleum laid down aeons ago, just burning it; that has to STOP. Petrochemicals; plastics, etc. etc. are the more appropriate use of this storehouse of real wealth.Plant (and nurture) a tree this month, not next (Mother Nature’s air conditioning). LA gave away a million trees, but most of them were left to die. Inefficient! When a baby is born, plant a tree-house.

There is no evidence that what people see as climate change is not just a natural variation in the cycles of weather that have always occurred. Does that mean we shouldn’t be good stewards of the earth. No! We have a responsibility to husband and manage the environment and our natural resources.

The real motive behind Global Warming is to further enslave humans to the mandates and whims of government control. It is all about taxation, regulation and control. They wrap it up in a pretty bow of “feel good socialism”, just like they are doing with universal health.

In brief:1. The Milankovitch cycles, known drivers of temperature trends, would currently have us in a mild cooling trend now and for the next few thousand years.2. Solar output and temperature trends parted ways decades ago — solar output started reducing into a small series of minima in the 70s, and temperature is still rising.3. Greenhouse gases have a known and chemically/physically well mapped effect on IR retention in the atmosphere anyway;4. And past climate change cycles, although generally driven by other causes (such as the Milankovitch cycles mentioned above) have a magnitude which cannot be explained without the greenhouse gas feedback loops. So, we know that changes in greenhouse gas levels map to “natural” changes in temperature, too.5. We know that industrialisation has added a considerable quantity of carbon to the atmosphere because carbon from fossil fuels has a different isotope ratio than carbon from “natural” sources, and the isotope ratio can be measured.6. Both backcasting and forecasting models which with primary drivers on climate, cannot explain the current temperature rises by any known mechanism except by including greenhouse gas effects.and 7. Scientists can put all of those things together with real-world observation…

Albert Einstein once said that only 2 things were considered infinite – the UNIVERSE and HUMANSTUPIDITY – and they weren’t so sure about the UNIVERSE.

Just keep dumping more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Another 2 degrees C and the polar ice caps will be melting faster than they are now. Half of FLORIDA will be under water (not that that’s all bad…) and all of the coral islands will be submerged, too. BUT some people will continue to have cranial-anal swapping problems… Claudius tried to order the tide not to come in, too…

Plus, I assure you, while I have used obscenity to express my displeasure with machines quite frequently in my life, I have never ever attempted to confine a flow of them behind an artificial barrier in order to create a controlled reservoir.

About Tim Eagan

Tim Eagan’s unique style of provocative political satire has won it a loyal following. Using an unusual mini-movie storytelling format, recovering lawyer Tim Eagan punctures pompous personalities, deflates bloviators, and attempts to shine light where it is most needed. This outrageous strip appears in mainstream and alternative West Coast papers and has been described as "Tom the Dancing Bug meets Ted Rall."
